Low Profile Ring Box with Sliding Lid and Pivoting Ring Holder

Abstract

The invention is a ring box with a low profile, a sliding lid, and a pivoting ring holder. The sliding lid and pivoting ring holder allow the ring box to have a low profile. An engagement ring or any other type of ring can be placed in the pivoting ring holder and temporarily be stored discreetly in a pant or jacket pocket until it is presented, at which time the lid is pulled back, the ring in the pivoting ring holder is pivoted from a horizontal position to a vertical position, and three LEDs are lit up, shining on the ring being presented.

1 . A ring box comprising a ring holder that pivots from a horizontal position when the device is closed to a vertical or near vertical position when the device is opened. 
     
     
         2 . A ring box recited in  claim 1  further comprising a lid that slides into the open position and into the closed position.

         4 . A ring box recited in  claim 2  wherein the lid that slides open is connected to a base housing part by angled cuts in each part that interlock, keeping the lid from separating from the base housing part and allowing the lid to slide. 
     
     
         5 . A ring box recited in  claim 1  wherein the ring holder that pivots from a horizontal position when the device is closed to a vertical position when the device is opened is connected to a base housing by means of an axle pin that runs through the ring holder and fits into holes in two blocks on either side of the ring holder. 
     
     
         6 . A ring box recited in  claim 5  wherein the ring holder that pivots is connected to a pull tab that pulls on the ring holder when the lid is slid to the open position, causing the ring holder to pivot from a horizontal position to a vertical or nearly vertical position. 
     
     
         7 . A ring box recited in  claim 6  wherein the pull tab is connected to the sliding lid which pulls on the pull tab when the lid is slid into the open position. 
     
     
         8 . A ring box recited in  claim 1  and in  claim 2  further comprising a low profile, more specifically having at least one dimension that measures less than 0.6 inches.
